Keto Crispy Ham Rolls are the type of snack that feels decadent while following the keto diet. Each roll has a piece of flavorful ham, which is wrapped around a creamy cheese filling and cooked until perfectly brown. The surface becomes crisp, while the center remains soft and flavorful, making each bite enjoyable. You may also add variations in the filling with the addition of herbs, spices, or even a bit of low-carb vegetable crunch. We pair these Keto Crispy Ham Rolls with the preferred choice of keto sauce or with eggs or salad for a complete meal.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
HAM SLICES:
- The ham slices serve as the basis for the rolls, holding the filling together. Choose thick deli ham that will not tear easily. Choose nitrate-free or uncured ham for a healthier alternative.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese provides the rolls with a smooth and creamy filling. It binds the flavors and keeps the center soft. We should use soft cream cheese so it binds easily.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- The mozzarella adds a mushy and melty quality to the rolls. Mozzarella cheese will helps to fix the sharp taste of ham with its creamy flavor. The use of cheddar or provolone provides the sharp twist.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder increases the filling’s delicious flavor. It combines easily without lumps, making it great for spreads. A modest quantity goes a long way towards enhancing taste.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Smoked paprika gives a subtle smoky flavor and a hint of warmth. It also colors the filling somewhat. You can add chili powder for added heat.
CHIVES:
- Chives provide the slight onion like taste and it also makes the dish fresh and also counterbalances the richness. They give color and a slight crunch to the filling. Fresh herbs work best, but dried chives are also acceptable.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil spray makes the rolls crisper while baking. It provides a bright golden sheen with no additional grease. Try avocado oil spray if you like a neutral flavor.
